Help us build a legacy for our community.
With your help, our facility will become the first professional, multi-disciplinary centre for Afro-diasporic art in Canada.
Nia Centre will provide space to create, learn, collaborate and experience art. A place for our community to gather. For Torontonians to experience art and cultural events rooted in historical and modern traditions – from drumming to digital art installation, theatre production, and movie screenings. We celebrate Black history year-round and enable all Canadians to understand how our history and culture is shaped by the Afro-diaspora. Together we will build a more inclusive, culturally aware society.
This is where Black artists will create, learn, showcase and collaborate. Donate today!
Rising costs of real estate have made arts spaces inaccessible.
Black artists & community organizations are traditionally pushed out of spaces as our cultural art forms are seen as less than mainstream.
Toronto is home to Canada’s largest Black community, but we don’t have a space to gather.
Through Nia Centre, I have participated in several group shows, sold artwork, spoke on a panel and facilitated a painting workshop. I truly believe the Centre has been a major stepping stone that has further propelled me into my purpose this year. The future is bright for Nia Centre and those who cross its path.
